Medora

Tues. morning after the long 4th of July weekend we took the weeks receipts into city hall and then headed for a couple of days R&R at Medora, ND. We arrived there about 1;30 and checked into the Roughrider Hotel at $160 a night. Being Tues.we got a 15% senior discount on the hotel bringing the price with tax down to $145. We also got our tickets for the pitchfork fondue and the Medora Musical at the same time for an
added fee. Nancy stayed at the Hotel and rested while I walked down the street to the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame. The lower floor is a horse and Indian museum and the 2nd floor is the hall of fame with pictures and stories of ranchers and cowboys that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. There are also animals such as the famous bucking bull Little Yellow Jacket along with rodeo events that have been inducted. I really enjoy reading the bio's of these people and events.
Wed. morning we drove through Teddy Roosevelt National Park. This is our 3 time through the park and we still haven't seen the herd of wild horses. On the way home we went south on US85 and then east to Regent where we turned north on the Enchanted highway. On this route we enjoyed the huge metal sculptures. We drove on north where we intersected Rt 200 east to Hazen. We also saw a lot of old barns and houses that we took pictures of for an album that we hope to make someday on old buildings. We arrived home about 5PM rested and relaxed.
